Oh unless its military grade morphine in those little capsules with needles....cause those only poke the skin and penetration is next to none. ;D Also, i would highly suggest lorazepam MMMmmmm... I fear ive said too much LoL.... But lorazepam is an excellent alternative to alochol. They enduce the same effect as drinking without any of that nasty getting sick and fiding yourself head deep in a toilet ;)

If you're an alcoholic or extremely heavy drinker, drinking may be worse for you. I think assuming the degrees are the same (as in addicted smoker = habitual drinker) smoking is much worse.

One drink a day is supposed to improve your health, whereas there are no benefits from smoking.

And on that note I'll crack open a beer.

You should refrase the question since neither of them are good for you. I think they're both just as bad. I perfer drinking over smoking. Smoking makes me want to eat then sleep. I'de do extacy before drinking and smoking or any other drug. That stuff is just unbelievable. I love everything about it. But Heylove's a straight edge now and doesn't do any of the above. Well I drink about 2 times a year but that's about it. I haven't done extacy in 3 years this month! Just because I like it doens't mean I'm stupid. Kids drugs are bad! Just say NO!

If you searched through the forums you'd see the many times people said they need an edit button. This forum is the only forum with out an edit button!

Just like there is a minimize and close button on the boxes on the side. You could easily put two buttons on the right of the posts in the forum part.

And I'd like to know how this thread came to be? I mean who told this person that one or the other is better. Does no one watch TV? All those anti-smoking commercials outta tell you some thing ya know.

All though you never see anti-drinking commercials now do ya... You can just as easily become an alcoholic as you could a heavy smoker.

tru enough...but all those commercials always seem to be personal attacks on smokers. If you smoke youll never get a date you smell bad all that kinda shit....its like wtf your not gonna like someone just because they smoke? But of course thats the way they want to subliminally brain wash you so.... Surprisingly enough there are actually alot of people out there who wont like a person just because he smokes...dunno always thought it was the person not what the person enjoys doing for what someone should like/dislike then for...call me old fashion >:|

Personally, I'd rather drink the alcohol. One time I tried smoking the alcohol and it just burst into flames when I lit it. :~)

Lorazepam is to Diazepam what oregano is to marijuana. Also, try vicodin (hydrocodone)...

Stryder I'm not sure how you got that impression about my post... I was just mentioning the fact that there isn't enough anti-alcohol commercials, if any. Drinking is just as bad as smoking if you do it to much. People don't think about that as much as smoking though.

And I am amongst the people that wouldn't like some one because they smoke. It's a dirty habit, it gives you bad breath, stained teeth... and oh yeah kills your lungs and insides. You'll get cancer and die before your spouse. So I don't know how you're old fashioned because you think it's their own personal thing.

I myself would rather have a clean boyfriend/husband who won't die way before me because of cancer. Cancer already kills enough people, way smoke and LET cancer get you. I mean you're just asking for it then. So I guess I would have to say smoking is definitely worse because of that ascept of it.

Yes a non-smoker will probably want a non-smoker companion but i was talkin more along the line of just being friends. Thats like saying I wont be your friend becuse you like the color burnt or you like jelly instead of jam on said burnt toast. Wasnt taking a bad impression on your post just thought it a good discussion topic ;D

Pyro_ says:

Oh well yes, a non-smoker would prefer another non-smoker companion. You didn't specify, I assumed you were talking about the same thing. But actually I could speak on the friends thing since I have a friend that smokes. I didn't say I wouldn't be his friend because he smoked.

But I did however try to get him to quit. When I'm 30-40 I'd rather not visit him in the hospital because he has lung cancer. I guess it all depends on how good of friends you are. I mean have you seen those commercials where they say "If your friends in troble you'd help him right?"

I think that's a pretty good message to be sending out. If you care about your friend at least eventually you'd come to the thought of trying to get said friend to quit smoking/drinking/doing drugs would you? Maybe it's just me.

And it is a very good discussion topic, I had just thought you got that impression from my post hah.

heylove says:

Oh we're talking about cigarettes... Opps. Yeah I'm pretty sure cigarettes are worse then alcohol. It's alot easier to get addicted to cigarettes then alcohol.

Even though there isn't anti alcohol commercials there are "drink responsible" commercials. It's legal to advertise alcohol and not cigarettes. I don't think there's a network that would advertise anti alcohol. They'de lose a ton of money. If adverising cigarettes on tv where still legal I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be anti smoking commercials or not as many.

I'm a smoker and I know alot of people who aren't. They don't have a problem with me but I'm considerate. If it bothers them then I wont smoke. I can see not like someone in an intimate kind of way if they're a smoker and your not but not to like someone just because they smoke is immature and stupid. Yes it's a dirty habit but that doesn't make them a dirty person. Most smokers started young and didn't know any better.

Pyro_ says:

Oh yes I did forget about those "drink responsible" commercials... I don't see as much of those though.

I didn't mean just to not like some one because they are a smoker. But if you were to date some one it would end up becoming an intimate relationship right? Because I was speaking of companions/spouses.

I did say I have a friend thats a smoker. I never said I wouldn't like some one just because they smoke. I meant I wouldn't like a guy that smokes. I once saw on a TV show where a non-smoker dated a heavy smoker. He had to keep eating a breath mint every time they were about to kiss.

I didn't mean to come off as immature or stupid for not liking some one because they smoked. And I didn't mean to imply that because some one has a dirty habit they are a dirty person.

I just meant I grew up in a household where every one thinks is a dirty habit to do. I mean my Grandfather quit smoking when he married my Grandmother, he quit for her ya know.

Exactly heylove. Us fellow smokers gotta band together and make sure they dont outlaw cigs. Lmao could you imagine the shear number of people who would turn into assholes if they couldnt have their hourly death stick. haha.

Isnt advertising cigarettes illegal not only on tv but magazines as well? Seems like i heard that from somewhere awhile back but cant remember. Bringing it up because it was my common knowledge that it was but recently saw entertainment weekly with cig ads so maybe theres a lawsuit in there somewhere >:D muahah im a tru american.

As for getting friends to stop smoking, well i suppose it would happen if i were a non-smoker but being as im not id give a shit. But the flip side is that it would be a 1 time thing cause as far as im considered a person is gonna do what they wanna do and nothing someone else says is gonna change that.....maybe its cuase im the same hardheaded way. ;P But since i am a smoker...its never really come across the ol mind to talk about stopping smoking with friends cause really theres nothing better than sitting around after toking/eating and smoking a "cool down" cig whilst in the midst of deep mind altering heated stoner discussion all the while paying hommage to the MJ gods. Hehehe ;D

Pyro_ says:

Heylove - Okay good... I thought I had explained myself clearly, but I posted again to make sure. I did not want to offend any one here. And I am quite sure there are peope like that, I'm just not one of them.

Stryder - Cigarettes make so much money I doubt they will ever outlaw them. It's just one of those things that they won't do any thing about because of the money.

I'm not sure about magazines... a while back I saw advertisment about cigarettes in a magazine. But I don't know if that was before the ban of TV advertisments or not. It most likely was after though. Especially since it could have been an old magazine... I was in a dentists office when I saw it lol.

About friends and smoking, that is just because it is the hard headed way. Because if some one cared about another person you would think they would quit for them. Me and my friends tried to get my other friend to quit. But I guess it wasn't enough for three of his friends to want him to quit. He didn't start really trying until he got a girl friend that wanted him to quit. That's sort of understandable... but at the same time kind of rude to me and my other friends that wanted him to quit.

Wynton I thought weed was just as bad as cigarettes. You smoke both the same, smoke is still entering your lugs. They both could blacken your lungs and ruin them right? Weed doesn't have tobacco though... so it wouldn't give you cancer? I'm a little bit confused on how bad both are. But I thought they were both just as bad.

Cigarettes have nicotine and get you addicted. All they do is feed an addiction. They've got tar in them and stuff. Weed is not addictive. Not that it's as good as diet and exercise, but it's not really unhealthy either.

That was our argument in 10th grade. Weed is natural- an herb! If it comes from our loving mother earth, open your arms and embrace it. Mother earth will never forsake you man (or woman in this case). She just wants us to be happy and feel good.

Legally.

Weed cant be addictive to the mentally weak person. One can become dependent on it...well dependent on the habit really. The routine of kickin back and havin a session, but your body doesnt actually become addicted. It is possible to go through withdrawl sypmtoms if havent toked in a couple days but its all mentally enduced. Kills brain cells sure...but if you dont have enough to spare you shouldnt be tokin in the first place. ie if your an idiot before you start smoking chances are your just going to double it, thrice it, quadruple it and so on the longer you do it. So please...if your intellectually challenged dont smoke weed :)

Cigs wouldnt be half the problem they are if the tobacco companies wouldnt throw all that extra unneeded shit into their product ie the tar and for reasons unknown to i think everyone arsenic. WTF?! for what possible reason would a person need arsenic in the cig? Ahhh yes this arsenic sure is full in flavor /eats throat away *sizzle lol.

Ok so weed is addictive through the mind, just not the body. It's still addictive then, and it still kills brain cells which you need. Whether you're intelligent or not you shouldn't waste your brain cells away.

And you'd have to look into it, I don't know why they put all those different things in cigarettes. Who knows they might be needed to make it the way it is.

we around here have ran a few experiments and have figured that shwag is for the kick back do nothing times where all you wanna do is veg out. And the more mainstream known "kronic" is more of a party herp as it tends to get you feelin like you wanna go out and party hearty. What say you wynton >:D

Tru, but everyone has their ways. Sometime i like to hang from the ceiling by my toes to give me that extra jump on the day, others sit down and brood over a hot cup 'o joe. Too each his own i suppose...which is prolly why weed should just be legalized with a age restriction of 18-21 slapped upon it. But thats a whole nother non-winable forever ongoing debate that will more than likely never be settled.

On another note, the group of people who dont need drugs should be larger...but all these drug commercials on tv have turned our society into one big fuck up. We got countless numbers of people thinking something is wrong when nothing really is, aswell as taking prescribtions they dont really need. You hear some of these commercial...its LoL "Have you ever felt nervious? Suddenly been unsure about your surroundings?! Are you bloated?! Then this drug is for you! perhaps not those exact thing but you get the point. they make these things so fuggin generalized that anyone under the moon could start believing if they hear it enough that they themselves have said problem...all in the name of $$ its LoL really.

I'm not entirely sure on what you mean there... but I'm mostly sure it's probaby implying some thing else. o_O Anyways you could easily hang from the cieling by your feet. If you have a horizontal bar in a doorway. Then you just get those things that let you hook onto it.

I agree about the commercials for prescriptions. People end up taking pills when they don't need them because it's so generalized. However I'd like to say if I were bloated I would definitely know it lol. All though I don't there is prescription pills for bloating... just take midol, or better yet wait till it goes away.

All though it is all in the name of money I also agree with that. None of them are really trying to help people. They just want money, then the after thought is "Oh yeah this could also help people!" It's all extremely stupid.

A friend of mine has been living in a Monastery in Tibet for a year. As she came back and i visited her she said the discipline there was very strict.

It´s very interesting to follow this discussion. Great arguments... even the teachers are always saying we´re not able to argument.

When i pack out my experiences and memories i had with drugs all i want to say is stay away from the needle. You won´t find any peace in it. The confrontation with drugs during my childhood gave me enough to keep a distance. I used to smoke for years since i was 15, 16. But... since i turned 18 and now that i am 19 there are rare moments i take a glass and drink with my friends. Maybe on the birthdays.

Here in germany it´s frustrating for me to watch TV or go to the cinema. When you see the perfect trained boys and girls with a glass of wodka or martini dancing body on body at the beach there is no reason why you shouldn´t do that, too. Right? Everybody says WE HAVE TO LIFE CONSCIOSLY!

I don´t want to go away from the topic. That´s my opinion. It´s great to see you people raising up your voice! Don´t fear that talking with somebody.
